Abstract

Hasan Yazic

Behcet Syndrome is a rare, chronic, and multisystem inflammatory disorder that affects various organs, including the eyes, skin, mucous membranes, joints, blood vessels, and nervous system. The etiology of the disease is not completely understood, but genetic and environmental factors are believed to play a role. Diagnosis is based on clinical features, and there are no specific laboratory tests available. Treatment is aimed at controlling the symptoms and preventing complications, and may include the use of immunosuppressive drugs. This review summarizes the current understanding of Behcet Syndrome, including epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment. We also highlight the potential complications associated with the disease and discuss the challenges associated with its management.
